The agony of Susan Rice

As it happens, the mouthpiece defense probably has a lot to it. Rice was aiming to please the White House in a high-profile audition. If she’s nominated, Republicans shouldn’t let the ritualistic cries of racism scare them off of holding her accountable. On the other hand, they shouldn’t get distracted from more important questions involving the president himself.

Was he apprised of prior attacks on the consulate, and what did he do with that information? When did he get the accurate account of the attack from the intelligence agencies? What did he do when he learned of the hours-long attack, and what orders did he give to help the besieged Americans?

We know in great detail the president’s involvement in the Osama bin Laden raid. But Benghazi has been a closed book. If the White House had a good story to tell, presumably the New York Times already would have reported the details in a 5,000-word front-page article built on leaks by anonymous administration officials.

If she’s nominated, Republicans shouldn’t let the ritualistic cries of racism scare them off of holding her accountable.

Ritualistic and intellectually offensive cries of racism ought to be fought back against as hard as possible. The left seeks to tribalize this society and drag us all into the third world and they should not only not be allowed to do so but need to be, themselves, excised from polite society for even making the attempt.

We get screams of “raaacist!!” from inept retards who can’t even do 8th grade math and who celebrate an inaugural benediction that included the totally asinine and offensive plea that, “let us pray for the day … when white will embrace what is right.” How pathetic can you get? And people are scared of being called “raaaacists!!” by these same dregs of society whose entire existence is predicated on racial handicaps (since none of them could achieve anything without the cheating)? How far this society has fallen. Indeed.
